Architect's Renderings
May 14, 2024 - after excavation and grading, contractors have applied a cement aggregate (not to be mistaken with concrete) to treat the field area and stabilize the soil. The smooth, lighter-colored area has been cement-treated, with the rest of the field about to be treated. This is important so that the sub-base layer stays firm and smooth after it is compacted, preventing sags that result in puckering or ponding of the synthetic turf field overlay (see Sports Field Management article for more information).
May 7, 2024 - Excavation of Field Area
May 7, 2024 - excavation of the former grass field is now underway to prepare for future grading and installation of the new synthetic turf field. The new field will allow all-weather use for students and, when school is not in session, community recreation as well. The track and field are currently inaccessible during construction - for your safety, please stay out of the fenced construction zone. Expected completion is by the end of August 2024.
